Rolf Thofte and Aske Drasbæk have put together a top notch quintet for this night to celebrate the music of the Adderley Brothers, “Cannonball” and Nat. The Cannonball Adderley Quintet, with big brother Nat on trumpet, was formed in 1955 without much success, but after Cannonball’s stint with Miles Davis the, his quintet was reunited and toured and recorded extensively.
The music is rooted deeply in the blues and hard-bop style that was predominant in the late 50’s, early 60’s. Cannonball called their music “soul jazz.” It is fun, sophisticated and maybe even danceable!?

Celebrating the style of Django Reinhardt!

Love is complicated. Sometimes wonderful, sometimes heartbreaking, occasionally ridiculous. Fortunately, jazz has a song for just about every version of it.
This Valentine’s Day, Copenhagen-based jazz vocalist Dalia Valančiūtė and her quartet invite you to Charlie Scott’s for Jazz for Lovers & Loners, an evening of songs about falling in love, falling out of love, longing, heartbreak and everything in between.
Drawing inspiration from the great storytellers of vocal jazz, including Shirley Horn, Blossom Dearie and Betty Carter, Valančiūtė brings her own sense of humour, sensitivity and spontaneity to familiar standards and lesser-known gems.
Originally from Lithuania, Valančiūtė has released two albums, most recently “One Or Two Things” (2026), which has received praise from international jazz publications, including the French music magazine Paris-Move.
🎧 Listen to “One Or Two Things”:
